For anybody waiting for invites: i have up and just waited until Black Friday deals and openings: you need to head to "the other site" and watch the deals and opening times and you can get anything you want.
Also, invites are not free: you still need to pay the subscription!
They get DMCA'd regularly and content get removed on Usenet as well. But the fact that they have to report literally thousands of individual files every time make it slow and inefficient. People will just reload the same item many times and it's always there.
Each copy, each single file in which the copy is split needs to be identified and asked for removal. Compared to torrents, it's a long and complex task.
As sport watches go, get a Garmin. Its proprietary, but it's the best in the class.
I have a Fenix 7, wife has a Fenix 5.
Battery last days/weeks (5/6 days with some 10-15 hours of sport tracking with GPS active).
I suggest some "older" models with MIPs displays, not AMOLED, because they have better (absolutely perfect) under the sun readability and much better battery life.
You need the Garmin Connect app on phone, but the web interface to the Garmin ecosystem is simply the best.
I managed to integrate Fittrackee (self hosted) and synched to my Garmin profile to keep all my activity self hosted.
Despite being proprietary, Garmin software is quite nice and the watch can be connected directly to PC to download activities and tracks even without using the app.
Se hai un budget limitato guarda i Poco o i Redmi (sono tutti Xiaomi). Cerca un modello ufficialmente supportato da LineageOS e sei a posto, spesso per ben più di 7 anni.
Il mio Poco X3 NFC ormai avrà quasi 6 anni (partito da Lineage OS 17.1, adesso ho su LineageOS 21, tutti ufficiali). Pagato nuovo 200€.
I have a very similar issue.
Seems like Android will bypass your DNS resolver and thus cannot resolve your local names.
I have my home services on "home.mydomain.com" accessible from outside and re-mapped to "192.168.0.1" (my internal server IP) at home, and all PCs can access it while all android phones can only resolve to the public IP.
I feel it's something related to DoT or similar but haven't yet dig in that.
Italian content? Some, but not much. Way less that torrents.
I speak from experience.
